Ties are formal wear for weddings, funerals and work, all places where men often through necessity, tend to hold their thoughts close to their heart, in order to have the strength to fight the battle, seal the deal, protect loved ones, or save face.

We usually see only one side of the person. Here, unpicked we see the reverse also. This can be complementary, contrasting, and sometimes very surprising. By stitching and binding together the public face and normally hidden private side, a glimpse of the whole man is seen.

Your men’s tie exhibit is wonderful. I am looking to do something similar with a collection of ties from my father and husband. Do you have a tutorial or guidelines on how to achieved this (size/width of strips used, etc.)? I’ve not worked with silk much and am concerned about unraveling, etc.. Any info or help would be much appreciated.
